Fire and Emergency New Zealand Seeks National Training Providers Panel

Integration of rural and urban training into Fire and Emergency NZ training has required bringing a national structure to manage training that provides responsive training services to Fire and Emergency personnel and our partners.

This involves Region training co-ordinators identifying training needs to ensure operational capability and currency of personnel (volunteer and career and external stakeholders), succession associated training and development, and budgeting and provision of training to ensure sufficient skills, knowledge, leadership capability to respond to and manage emergency responses.

This includes developing a common �suite� of training courses and learning opportunities, ensuring these are provided in each region and nationally, and resourcing this training with well qualified trainers or training providers.

The purpose of this RFP is to establish an open panel of qualified regional training providers, located around the country to provide industry standard and/or already designed training programmes for Fire and Emergency New Zealand�s workforce. As FENZ is a national service, these courses are required to be delivered nationwide, but there is an opportunity to bid for services within specific regions.
